Equipment

  • Slow Cooker
  • Measuring Cups
  • Knife

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 3 cups broccoli florets
  • 2 cups cooked rice
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • 2 green onions, sliced

Instructions
 

  • Place the chicken thighs in the bottom of the slow cooker.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the honey, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger until smooth.
  • Pour the sauce over the chicken and add the broccoli florets on top.
  • Cover and cook on low for 5 to 6 hours until the chicken is tender and easily shredded.
  • Shred the chicken with two forks right in the slow cooker and stir it into the sauce and broccoli.
  • Add the cooked rice and stir gently until everything is heated through and coated with sauce.
  • Sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.

Notes

For best texture, add the cooked rice in the final 30 minutes so it warms without becoming soggy. If you prefer firmer broccoli, stir it in during the last hour of cooking. Leftovers reheat well in the microwave with a splash of water to loosen the sauce.
